Very productive and we had a lot of fun.

We’ll talk about Testing, Bug Report and Triage. And we’ll have a lot of fun testing Oneiric Beta1!

UPDATE: Somebody said that not seeing my face in the video it’s a feature, not a bug. LOL!

It is aimed at everyone in the Python community, of all skill levels, both users and programmers. The EuroPython 2011 will be held in the city of Florence, Italy.

The place where I live is very close to Florence so I proposed a talk about Ubuntu and the Opportunistic Programming. My proposal resulted very popular during the voting and they asked me to perform it both in English and Italian. It’s planned for Monday 20 June in English and for Tuesday 21 June in Italian.

During the talk I will talk about Launchpad and Quickly. After the talks I will share with a blogpost the slides and the handout I prepared.

Last weekend we had the first Italian Ubuntu Party. We made it in the pretty city of Schio (VI). Everything worked fine, thanks to the indefatigable Ubuntu-it Rockstar Dario Cavedon. During two days we had 24 Talks, Install parties and a lot of chat :).

It has been a really nice event and I’m really looking forward to organizing the next one :)

Thanks to all the people from the LUGs who helped Dario organizing it, and the Ubuntu-it Members coming from differents part of the country.

What is it an Open Week? Quoting from the wiki page “Ubuntu Open Week is a week of IRC tuition and Q+A sessions all about getting involved in the rock-and-roll world that is the Ubuntu community. We organise this week for the beginning of a new release cycle to help new contributors get involved.”

Don’t miss it!

I’ll lead the ISO Testing session at 21.00 UTC (23:00 CET). We’ll talk about ISO Testing, LoCo Testing Team and the New Laptop Testing!

Last weekend we hold a conference in the nice town of Fermo, called Ubuntu@Fermo. Andrea Colangelo organized everything in every little detail and the weekend was just perfect.

The event location was a conference center held by the municipality of Fermo and made into a ﻿deconsecrated church, really an amazing venue:

During the evening we spoke about the Ubuntu project and how to partecipate, the Ubuntu Women project, the o﻿pportunistic development in Ubuntu and the great Andrea Colangelo’s Talk “Debunking Ubuntu myths”.

Thanks to Canonical for the nice gift they sent just in time for the conference and for the Conference Pack:
